San Jose Bicycle Accident Attorneys

Are negligent drivers responsible for a bicycle collision?

Many bicycle riders suffer serious injuries as the result of
motor vehicle operators who drive unsafely and do not treat bicyclists with the courtesy they
deserve. In addition to being struck by a motor vehicle, many bicyclists
suffer injuries when they are struck by an opening car door.

If you are a bicyclist who has been involved in an accident with an automobile,
you need to hire a skilled attorney.
